Once upon a time, four centuries ago, in India, there was a love that knew no bounds. For his beloved wife, the princess Mumtaz Mahal, the emperor Shah Jahan ordered the creation of the most luxurious gardens of Shalimar as a setting for their love. Later, he erected the Taj Mahal, a marvel admired by the entire world. This fabulous story inspired Jacques Guerlain to create an exquisitely seductive scent, the world’s very first oriental fragrance: Shalimar.
Shalimar Cologne opens with a luminous, refreshing and sparkling surge of bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit. The Calabrian cocktail then gives way to a heart of freesia, jasmine petal, and rose, brought together like a bouquet of freshly-cut flowers. The composition culminates with an addictive and enveloping base of white musk, vanilla, and iris.
Notes:
Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, Freesia, Jasmine, Rose, White Musk, Vanilla, Iris.
Style:
Effervescent. Delectable. Refreshing.
If there were a dictionary devoted solely to beauty, you’d find Guerlain under the word classic.

Since 1828, the company pioneered industry staples, including lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and scientifically based skin care. And that's just the beginning: Their fragrance house has created over 700 perfumes, several of which are considered masterpieces. An enduring symbol of style and innovation, it's nearly impossible to imagine life before lipstick—or Guerlain.
